The Okatie Youth Ballet held the second of two open houses Saturday for students to learn more about ballet and register for classes.

Also Saturday, a group of Beaufort County firefighters started fundraising efforts for Cubes for a Cure with a barbecue and Boston Butt sale. The firefighters are working together to raise money for the Keyserling Center for Cancer Research as a tribute to a former firefighter who died from Neuroendocrine cancer in April. On Nov. 3, a team representing Cubes for the Cure will run in Savannah’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon while attempting to set a world record for most Rubik’s cubes solved while completing a marathon. The current record for the task is 100 cubes set in April 2011 at the Virgin London Marathon.

Cubes for the Cure is seeking volunteers to help during the marathon. For more information, go to cubesforthecure.org.
